    Abstract:
    A case is reported of secondary hypergonadotropic amenorrhoea following laparoscopic tubal sterilization with unipolar high-frequency current. Before the operation there had been no indication of hormonal disturbance in the 28 year-old woman. Endocrinological investigation of the patient and histological examination of the ovaries confirmed the clinical diagnosis of premature menopause. It is assumed that the ovaries had been irreversibly damaged by the coagulation procedure.
